What "Group" Based on Starting Weight, has met goal consitently?

I am wondering if anyone has done any statistical research on whether some groups of people (in terms of starting weight) tend to reach and maintain their goal weights more consistently than others. If a person reached his or her goal weight, did that person generally start the journey as a "light weight", say, between 100 and 150 lbs overweight? Did those who started off heavier generally have less success reaching goal? Just curious if there is any correlation between starting pounds overweight, and ultimate success in reaching and maintaining goal. Thanks!
